Be it known that I, ALBERT KRAUTII, a citizen of the United States,residing at Hamilton, in the county of Butler and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Music-Stands, of whichthe following is a specification.

Fig. 2 is a central vertical section through the upper end ofthe supporting-tube. Fig. 3 is a section on line w m, Fig. 2.

The compressing of the end of the tube into thesubstantially rectangular portion E forms the shoulders F at thejuncture of the rectangular and tubular portion of the support, uponwhich the shoulders seats the end of the rectangular stem B.

Having described my invention, I claim In a music-stand, a tubularsupport, the upper end of which is compressed into substantiallyrectangular shape, forming shoulders at the juncture of the rectangularand tubular portion, a music-rack, and a substantially rectangular sternfor said rack, fitting into the rectangular portion of the support andseating upon the said shoulders, substantially as described.
